'Verse - Corporate Entity - Blackwood Investments

Blackwood Investments Ltd.
Blackwood Investments Ltd. was a company founded by Jonah Blackwood in 1963.

By the 2000's, Blackwood Investments had a vastly diverse portfolio focusing on United States' based companies and Jonah's board kept bugging him to dip the investments globally. He resisted the idea.

In the attack of September 11th, 2001, the official headquarters of Blackwood Investments Ltd was destroyed when both towers in NYC had fallen. In Jonah's will, he named Theresa Blackwood, his niece, as his successor for his seat on the board. Theresa Blackwood partially accepted the position, appointing a figurehead in her place as she stayed as the officer of the United States Navy.

In 2030, when Theresa Blackwood officially retired from the United States Navy, she assumed the role of CEO and took control of the conglomeration from that point on. Since 2001, BI had been slowly expanding its investment globally and now Theresa Blackwood decided to change the company's name to Blackwood Global Investments as a sign that she was in control of the company.

After a year, she turned her focus to her father's company, Blackwood Heavy Industries and began to compete for a hostile takeover of it. She successfully took control of BHI and absorbed it into BGI on the fifth anniversary and changed the name again to Blackwood Global.
